We wish to extend our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The thing I remember most was when we were visiting your parents one summer and every morning he would come down stairs and the first thing he wanted to know was the surf report. He would yell surfs up and away he would go.

Love to you all.
